Agiasoma

Agiasoma is a genus of sea slugs, specifically nudibranchs, which are soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusks. These creatures are known for their vibrant colors and often intricate appearances. Unlike many sea creatures, nudibranchs have no shells and are notable for their ability to absorb chemicals from their prey for defense. Agiasoma species typically inhabit shallow coastal waters and play a role in the marine ecosystem as predators of small invertebrates. Their striking appearance serves as a warning to predators about their toxicity or unpalatability, making them fascinating examples of marine biodiversity.
